Cardstock: Black, Hello Honey, Silver Foil, Urban Underground DSP (Occasions 2017).

Use a full panel from your Love It Chop It pile (5-1/4” x 4”), cut it in half the long way and flipped one over.  Covered the join with ribbon.

I swiped a piece of black cardstock with Versamark here and there, covered it with Silver embossing powder.  I flicked it off as hard as I could before heat embossing for the label.

I lightly swiped a piece of Hello Honey cardstock with black ink before cutting the gears.

I had joined a Paper Share for the Occasions 2017 catalogue.  And as usual, SU! has the most stunning papers but the catalogue does not do them justice.  A Paper Share allows you to see the detail, patterns and weight of each DSP before committing to buying a full pack.  For the designs you love, you can always order a full pack if the catalogue is still current!  From the Urban Underground DSP Paper Share, I ended up with 5 sheets of 6x6 paper plus 2 half sheets (3x6) of black with brushed silver foil.  I have Loved It long enough, time to Chop It and use it thanks to Kylie Bertucci!
